Blundells founder Mike Blundell, who oversees the Dronfield branch, was awarded the Valuer of the Year accolade for the second year running.

He said: “I thoroughly enjoy my job so was delighted to pick up this award again. It has been a difficult period for the property market so the continued effort from our staff is exceptional - I am extremely proud of them and thrilled that their successes can be celebrated at an awards ceremony such as this.

“Blundells continues to be Sheffield and North Derbyshire’s leading estate agent with excellent market share figures so we hope to build on that in 2011.”
